Lacey Spears, of Scottsville, Kentucky, blogged and tweeted about her five-year-old son, Garnett-Paul Spears, and the illness he suffered and 'craved the attention' his illness gave her, Fox News reported.

She was convicted today of poisoning him to death by force-feeding heavy concentrations of sodium through his stomach tube.

Video showed Spears twice taking the boy into a hospital bathroom with a connector tube and the boy suffering afterwards.

"The motive is bizarre, the motive is scary, but it exists," Assistant District Attorney Patricia Murphy said in closing arguments Thursday.

"She apparently craved the attention of her family, her friends, her co-workers and most particularly the medical profession," Fox News reported.
